Montrose Beach Potluck / BBQ #5 - STUFFED THINGS [8/10/13]

As has been going on for the past 2 years, I'm organizing a semi-monthly BBQ all summer long to celebrate cooking, sharing food, but also to take advantage of the fact that Chicago has beautiful beaches!

This is an LTH event, but is completely open to anyone and everyone! Please bring friends!
To simplify and unify the process of the RSVP, and also to allow everyone to coordinate the food we're bringing, I've set up a public facebook invite page. I would love to have people RSVP there, but ask that you also PLEASE post your pictures and reactions to the event here on LTH and not just keep it on facebook. My intention is not in any way to move the event off of LTH, rather it is to keep the event more integrated and encourage people to post on here as well.

Here is the facebook invite https://www.facebook.com/events/442918985815944/

Food
The theme this week is STUFFED THINGS!!! Please post what you plan to bring here or on the facebook page, or both! If you don't fancy yourself a cook and just want to come eat feel free to bring some drinks!

Drinks
The park is officially a non-alcohol location, meaning it is technically possible to be ticketed, however we have unofficially drank alcohol at every single one of these without incident. Last week a cop drove by and said "party on" then drove off. BYOB at your own discretion

Time
I typically show up around 11am, unless i need to start up a smoker earlier. The party usually reaches full swing between 1-4pm, and people peter out around 6pm.

Location:
After years of experience, we have found an idyllic location right by the water a bit off the beaten path. There is the added bonus that there is ample parking year round, even during big events we have not had trouble parking at this spot.

For those of you who prefer a visual aid:

I think I'll be able to make this one!
I have some ground lamb that I'll stuff into/with.

Sorry Brendan--it ended about 4 hours ago. Hope you can make the next one, Saturday 8/24.

And speaking of...GREAT theme, fantastic food and, possibly, the most beautiful day of the summer. I only got a few pics and none of 2 of my favorite dishes-- Trixie Pea's wonderful Vietnamese spring roll meets Chinese egg roll--with 2 of the best dipping sauces ever!! And Teresa's gorgeous, perfectly crusted, blueberry pie. But here are a couple pics-- hopefully others will share theirs as well. Looking forward to 8/24!

I swear, I thought this was tomorrow!
So glad we got this straightened out before I left the house.
